47 Meters Down: The Wreck is a forthcoming horror thriller that will be marketed at the Cannes film market.
The creator of the franchise and director of the first two movies, Johannes Roberts (Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City; 47 Meters Down and sequel; The Strangers: Prey at Night; The Other Side of the Door; Storage 24) has co-written this third entry with Ernest Riera. It will be directed by genre director Patrick Lussier (Play Dead; Trick; Into the Dark: Flesh & Blood; My Bloody Valentine 2009; Dracula 2000 and sequels).
Meanwhile, co-producer Johannes Roberts promises this third one will be the “biggest” of the three movies. The other producers are James Harris and Mark Lane. Executive producers are Byron Allen, Carolyn Folks, Jennifer Lucas, Chris Charalambous and Matthew Signer.
The plot follows a father who is determined to rebuild his relationship with his daughter as they bond during a scuba diving in beautiful tropical waters while exploring a famous shipwreck. But soon after their descent, their master diver has an accident leaving them alone and unprotected inside the labyrinth of the wreck. As tensions rise and oxygen dwindles, the pair must use their newfound bond to escape the wreck and the relentless barrage of bloodthirsty great white sharks.
Filming on 47 Meters Down: The Wreck is scheduled to commence later this year and the casting is currently underway.
